Info on EF500 or 600mm

Hi,

I wonder if anybody knows of any of these lenses for sale(hopefully cheap as possible), not bothered about them being IS versions, any info would be very welcome.

Thanks

Brian

All the best

ffordes have a 500/4.5L for sale......£2499

If I were selling mine it would be close to that price too.

I don,t know about the f/4.5 (i already have the sigma version) i think if i was going to have the 500mm i would be tempted to pay the extra £1000ish and see if i could find a F/4 with IS but thanks for pointing those ones out for me

If you can afford it go for the F4 version, it is much more flexible with the extra half stop - I use my F4.5 just about all the time with the 1.4 affixed when out doing bird photography the resultant single point AF is limiting at times

Hi Brian,
Just picked up my 500 F4 IS this morning , after waiting 6 weeks for delivery I can honestly say its been worth the wait , this is one superb lense , imho it doesn't get much better than this.
